Job 3: Close your sprinkler system for the year

Close it too early….and your cutting off valuable end-of-season lawn and garden care for your landscaping.

Close it too late….and the system infrastructure (i.e. values, seals, and pipes) are placed under extra stress than they should be.

That is why we take into account things like local forecast and current condition of your landscape design before deciding when to finally shut your system off.

When the time does come for fall closing, our team performs a thorough, step-by-step shutdown process that includes:

Blowing out standing water.

System audit of heads, risers, and other components.

Job 4: Protecting fragile outdoor plants

For plants that cannot be brought indoors, we will wrap them up with burlap or other plant coverings to keep them protected all winter long.

Job 5: Lawn preparation

At Lawrence Park Complete Garden Care, we want your lawn to come back next spring as healthy and vibrant as it can possibly be.

That is why we perform specific fall lawn care tasks to get your grass ready for winter:

Leaf removal: Wet and heavy leaves left on your lawn can lead to disease or illness. This is because moisture is trapped under the weight and sunlight cannot get through

Dormant Fertilizing of Turf : Throughout dormancy, turf has a decreased ability to defend itself from various diseases and pests, so by applying fertilizer the plant is able to better manage various lawn problems and give it a bost in spring time.

Job 6: Washing and cleaning stonework

Over the course of the year, your stone walkways, driveways, and patios may have become stained or discoloured.

That is why we will powerwash your natural stone landscaping and treat it to ensure it is protected for the winter.

Job 7: Thorough weed removal

Although this is something Lawrence Park Complete Garden Care handles all year long, we give extra close attention at this time of year.

In addition to being annoying, weeds are hearty. They can grow in just about any type of weather environment.

Even in late fall and winter, it is possible for weeds to grow and spread throughout your lawn. This can even occur under a thick blanket of snow.
